The theory looks like a fraud because it is analyzing the inequality only in static not in dynamic

I don't see what "Piketty Inequality Theory" has to do with the linked-to page.

The Bloomberg title is "Thomas Piketty Is Back With a 1,200-Page Guide to Abolishing Billionaires".

The new book is titled (in English) "Capital and Ideology".

What is the theory you refer to? It's not mentioned in the Bloomberg article. It does say:

> Piketty says his conclusion is that it’s a mistake to see inequality as rooted in nature, or driven by changes in technology. Its real causes are to be found in politics and ideology -- and that makes it easier to challenge.

I don't even see how that ties with your comment, so could you elaborate?
